I can never resist peeking at the previews, and I am absolutely going to pick up Salvation Run when it's a trade. I don't know why, but Villains United gave me a real taste for life on the dark side of herodom. You never used to see much of that in the old days--villains doing things other than being villainous. It's kind of neat.
I'm also wondering whether I'd be best served by picking up Supergirl like that as well. You know, just the books that hold relatively kid-friendly stories.

Even though I like Supergirl, be wary. There are a couple of issues here and there that might be considered "kid friendly" considering your definition. the bad thing is that Supergirl is a revolving door of new story starts and new directions that has a current story so confusiing that even those of us that have picked it up from the start are starting to waver on support. As for looks, the Tony Bedard stories had an artist that drew her like a girl that age might be. There is a good one issue quick story that is part of her discovering herself that deals with Hugh School cliques and drama. It is part of the Power Boy stalker story though. Get some opinions before you jump into Supergirl. Try her in Supergirl and the Legion of Super Heroes which has three trades already out for a better version that will appeal to kids.
Salvation run is different from Villians United. It is good to me and issue #2 had some great dialogue that was funny and creepy at the same time. It connects into Blue Beetle as well. The planet was shown in that series during the time his best gal pal got sucked through a BOOM Tube. That story is traded as well.
